Answer

$\displaystyle \frac{4x^{2}-3x-7}{2x-1}=2x-0.5+\frac{-7.5}{2x-1}$

Work Step by Step

$\left[\begin{array}{l} \\ 2x-1\\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \end{array}\right. $ $\left.\begin{array}{rrrrrr} 2x & -0.5 & & & \\ \hline)\ 4x^{2} & -3x & -7 & & \\ 4x^{2} & -2x & & & \\ -- & -- & & & \\ & -x & -7 & & \\ & -x & +0.5 & & \\ & -- & -- & & \\ & & -7.5 & & \end{array}\right]$ $Q(x)=2x-0.5,\quad R(x)=-7.5$ In the form $ \displaystyle \frac{P(x)}{D(x)}=Q(x)+\frac{R(x)}{D(x)},$ $\displaystyle \frac{4x^{2}-3x-7}{2x-1}=2x-0.5+\frac{-7.5}{2x-1}$
